85. In Japan, most people would have called him an akita.
I don't know why we draw the distinction here the way that we do, but there the "akita" breed comes in all sizes and the dogs that we call "shiba inu" are commonly just called akitas.

I say that to ask if you know the story of Hachiko?

PS: I'm sure Boo couldn't have had a better family.
